and testing....

Disappointed about the loss of old topics/replies etc but a more modern Forum and looks a little easier to use , similar to lots of others we use.

alibali · June 29, 2012, 19:29:50 PM

Very nice

. . . although I'd prefer the timings to be 24 hour format rather than am/pm

Carlo · June 29, 2012, 20:17:39 PM

Think it's sound. Well done admin for a smooth transition.

Paddster · June 29, 2012, 20:33:36 PM

I'm not sure....... $:-\$

Sitting here in dark and drab old blighty the menu backgrounds (washed out blue with white text) look a bit like my Cornish tan (faded) could prove hard to read in strong sunlight! But i'm all for moving on and making changes. Keep claim and plod on with developments and don't listen to the squeals!

dave-g · June 29, 2012, 21:34:43 PM

could use a bold typeface for the headlines of posts similar to the word 'today'
otherwise looks ok.

admin · June 29, 2012, 22:08:32 PM

appy - you're shouting!

It's not exactly the same but just under the forum logo next to your name and icon , there should be links for :
Show unread posts since last visit.
Show new replies to your posts.

If you don't see that, there's a wee blue arrow at the top right of the forum - it reveals / hides that area.

If that's not good enough let me know - the good thing about this new forum software is that there are many 'mods' which we can look at to see if there's something more akin to what you want.

Carlo · June 29, 2012, 22:50:10 PM

Think a 24 hour clock would be better than the current 09:44 pm one.

admin · June 29, 2012, 22:58:17 PM

alibali and Carlo - So be it.

Carlo · June 29, 2012, 23:05:35 PM

Cheers

What you thought was spam was us letting you know.

LOL Nice work Admin, once it gets rolling it's gonna be good, a lot of work put into it recently.

Carlo · June 29, 2012, 23:53:55 PM

Admin, just letting you know that the clock is an hour slow now.

admin · June 30, 2012, 00:11:40 AM

Sorted . thanks Carlo.

fifi · June 30, 2012, 01:02:44 AM

I prefer the old Forum to be honest. I am sure that I will get used to this one in time though.

Paddster · June 30, 2012, 07:32:13 AM

I'm with Fi on this one,suppose i'll get used to it though...... $:-\$ $:-\$

Elite of the forum · June 30, 2012, 08:53:33 AM

Fuerte1976 · June 30, 2012, 11:52:28 AM

Still trying to get my chops around it

Good work

admin · July 01, 2012, 00:30:05 AM

Do you mean can you somehow exclude your choice of members' posts from being visible by yourself ?
Or can we delete certain members' posts?

fifi · July 01, 2012, 01:17:36 AM

Used to it now and loving it.

More functions to explore tomorrow. Well done to all concerned.

Sadly my WALK post has not been able to be found, all my walkers (and there are a lot of us) are emailing me to ask where it is, I have tried to copy and paste it over to here without any luck. Maybe Admin could do that for me,it's an ongoing post and I shouldn't have to start from scratch again, it's a good job I set up another one on another forum, which incidentally I haven't had any trouble with, so please Admin can you put this right for us all.

Many thanks Whispa

admin · July 01, 2012, 12:18:00 PM

whispa - sorry about that.

The old forum is still there so the posts haven't been lost.

The link to your (locked) thread is here:
http://www.fuerteventura-forum.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=30724

If only it was a simple task of cutnpasting then we wouldn't be in the pickle we are.

May I suggest you do start a new thread on this version and include the above link in the first post.
If you do that I'll place a link to the new thread at the end of the old one.

I realise that solution is much less than perfect but I honestly can't think of a better one at the moment.

whispa · July 01, 2012, 12:28:44 PM

Thanks for that Admin, I'll give it a go, if you see a lot of steam going over the Island it's coming out of my ears!!!

admin · July 01, 2012, 12:31:20 PM

We can't see anything but the steam that has emanated from ours !

I see you have restarted the thread.
I've placed the link to it at the end of the old one.

I've had a search but as far as I can tell there is no mod or feature for such a thing.

What do you think of the new Forum?
